Hi there!
\nIf I haven\u2019t had the opportunity to personally wish you a Happy New Year, my apologies and, more importantly, Happy New Year! 2009 is behind us (and not soon enough!) and 2010 is shaping up to be a very good year! <\/p>\n
\u2022\tI just signed a new 3-year contract with Atlas Talent to represent me! Yeah, I know: I\u2019m more surprised than you are. But don\u2019t fault them for their lack of judgment\u2014the rest of their clients really have talent and Lisa, Hoss, Jonn, Meredith, Heather, Tim, Carli, and Amanda (sorry if I forgot someone) really are great people! And they are opening a new office in L.A. this year, which is great and makes me bicoastal! Atlas\u2019 website is www.atlastalent.com.<\/p>\n
\u2022\tI also renewed my contract with Discovery Communications to continue doing their billboards. This makes it 8 years running! You can hear my voice on all their networks (TLC, Planet Green, Military Channel, etc.), and I am told even in Australia and the UK! <\/p>\n
\u2022\tICS Learning Group (http:\/\/www.icslearninggroup.com) hired me for a project to be the intelligent, reasonable voice that provides policy and procedural dos and don\u2019ts for one of their clients. <\/p>\n
\u2022\tIn a remarkable act of ventriloquism, I provided an instructional voice for Multimedia Instructional Design (http:\/\/multimedia-instruction.com\/) over in the UK. OK, we just used the Internet, but still . . .<\/p>\n
\u2022\tMy friends at Big Picture (http:\/\/www.bpiworks.com\/) are using me for the voice of Cowles Ford! I love doing hard-sell car ads! I\u2019ve posted a few on my website for you to peruse.<\/p>\n
\u2022\tSRI, formerly the Stanford Research Institute, hired me to be the voice of their new geospatial mapping technology. Pretty cool stuff, with a lot more applications than you\u2019d think! Check them out at www.sri.com!<\/p>\n
\u2022\tAnd if you need a female VO, check out my friend Jan Johns (www.janjohns.com). Not only does she do great straight reads, but she does awesome characters as well!<\/p>\n
Well, that\u2019s all for now! JJ Surma (another VO) and I are putting together a VO geek podcast, so look for that in February (if you\u2019re into that sort of thing). And I have an exciting animation project I am working on! Can\u2019t wait to share the news about that!<\/p>\n
Stay warm and keep moving<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
